Overview & Condition:
This car has been my cherished summer pride and joy for the past 4 years. Dry-stored indoors every winter under my ownership (October to April) and garage-kept by its previous long-term owner. It is a clean, honest example of a late-model UK 1.8L Mk1.
The British Racing Green paintwork presents fantastically with great depth, gloss, and no clearcoat peel. There are only two minor cosmetic flaws on the bodywork: a small touched-up stone chip on the bonnet and a slight graze on the offside rear wing. I chose to leave these minor imperfections untouched to preserve the original factory paintwork.
Mechanically, the car drives tightly with zero issues everything works exactly as it should. The manual soft-top roof is fully watertight and in great condition, though the car has primarily been used with either the matching hardtop fitted or open-air during fair weather.
Reason for Sale:
A genuine, reluctant sale due to the arrival of a newborn. As a family of three, we are looking to transition to a 4-seater classic, so the MX-5 must now find a new home. I would love to see it go to an enthusiast who will keep it dry-stored and enjoy it as a weekend toy.
